TREAD SEPARATION ON TWO UNIROYAL LAREDO P235-70-15 ON A 2000 BLAZER TIRES, WITH-IN A 10 DAY PERIOD. APX. 10 DAYS AGO FRONT END WAS SHAKING, TOLD OF TIRE SEPARATION ON L/F. TREAD WAS SEPARATING FROM TIRE . BOUGHT 2 NEW TIRES. TODAY I HAD TIRE SEPARATION ON L/R AND AGAIN TREAD WAS PEALING FROM TIRE. CALLED UNIROYAL TODAY AND AFTER THREE PHONE CALLS OF GETTING THE RUNAROUND I WAS THEN ABLE TO HAVE ONE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY THE OTHER TIRE WAS DISPOSED OF BY TIRE SHOP. TIRES HAD ABOUT 60-65% TREAD LIFE LEFT ON THEM. PROBLEM WAS THAT THE TIRE SHOPS THEY SENT ME TOO SAID THEY ONLY SELL UNIROYAL TIRES AND DO NOT WARRANTY THEM. OTHER PROBLEM WAS BY ALLEGED REGIONAL REPRESENTATIVE IN MY OPINION HAD A "NO CARE" ATTITUDE. *AK

REFER TO ODI ID NUMBER 760100, 8008263, 8013241, 10016706, 10001738, 566417. I HAVE DETECTED THIS SAME PROBLEM ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER PURCHASED IN JANUARY 2000 AT A DEALERSHIP IN SEATTLE WASHINGTON. THE THROTTLE PEDAL STICKS ON TAKEOFF/STARTUP FROM A STOPPED POSITION (I.E. STOP LIGHT/SIGN). I HAVE TO EXERT EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL TO GET THE VEHICLE MOVING. WHEN I EXERT THE EXTRA PRESSURE ON THE PEDAL, AFTER ABOUT 1 - 2 INCHES, IT BREAKS FREE AND LUNGES FROM THE STOP. IT ALSO SOMETIMES HAPPENS WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE ON THE FREEWAY, NOT FROM A STOPPED POSITION. MY WIFE HAS ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. WE JUST GOT HOME FROM A TRIP THROUGH CALIFORNIA FROM 8 DAYS OF DRIVING AND HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM THE WHOLE TIME. I FIRST EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND THOUGHT I MIGHT NEED TO USE WD-40 IN THE LINKAGE FROM THE PEDAL. THIS DID NOT HELP. I CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER IN LAS VEGAS WHO SAID THEY HAVE NOT HAD THIS PROBLEM ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS NOT NORMAL TO HAVE THE PEDAL STICK LIKE THIS AND IT COULD CREATE AN ACCIDENT POTENTIAL IF IT WERE TO STICK AND THEN LUNGE AND THE NEED TO IMMEDIATELY APPLY THE BRAKES PRESENTED ITSELF. *NLM

REAR TAILGATE ON MY 2000 CHEVROLET BLAZER LS WOULD NOT OPEN AFTER CLOSING. THE REAR INSIDE TRIM PANEL HAD TO BE BROKEN BECAUSE OF A POOR DESIGN TO GET TO CHEAP PLASTIC ACTUATOR UNIT TO RELEASE THE REAR WINDOW AND TAILGATE. COSTLY REPAIR NOT UNDER WARRANTY. COULD POSE SAFETY PROBLEM IF IT WAS THE ONLY ESCAPE ROUTE IN CAR CRASH. I FEEL GM SHOULD AT LEAST COVER PARTS REPAIR SINCE THE ONLY WAY TO REPLACE THE PROBLEM IS TO BREAK A $145.00 + TRIM PANEL BECAUSE THE SCREWS FOR THAT PANEL ARE ON THE SIDE OF THE TAILGATE WHICH YOU CAN'T GET OPEN TO UNSCREW THEM. I THINK THIS IS PROBLEM WHICH GM REFUSES TO ADDRESS AND LIKE I SAID IS A COSTLY PROBLEM FOR THE CONSUMER. *NLM

THE FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2000 CHEVY BLAZER BECAUSE THE SENDING UNIT WAS CORRODED, ALSO THE HANDLE ON THE SIDE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT BROKE OFF WHEN I USED IT. *JB

I HAVE A TAILGATE/HATCHBACK COMBINATION. THE LATCHING MECHANISM HAS SEPARATED FROM THE GLASS. THE GLASS COMPANY THAT THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME TO TOLD ME THIS WAS A MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT AND THAT NEW GLASS WOULD HAVE TO BE ORDERED. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT COULD BE THAT, BUT ALSO OFFERED AN IMPLAUSABLE EXPLANATION FOR A SCENARIO WERE SEPARATION FROM THE GLASS MIGHT HAVE OCCURRED. THEY REFUSE TO RECTIFY THE SITUATION OR EVEN INVESTIGATE IT. THE ALTERNATE SCENARIO WAS OFFERED BY A REGIONAL DEALER MANUFACTURER WHO HAS NEVER SEEN MY CAR AND WHO REFUSED TO INSPECT IT PERSONALLY WHEN I REQUESTED IT.*AK
